Raoul Millais (1901–1999)
Fox Hunters with Hounds in a Landscape, circa 1931
Oil on canvas
Signed lower right: Raoul Millais and dated 1931
Presented in an ornate period gilt frame
DESCRIPTION (Dibs-style long format)
A fine early 20th-century sporting composition by Raoul Millais, painted in 1931 and depicting the timeless ritual of the English fox hunt set within a broad, atmospheric landscape. Millais, long admired for his instinctive understanding of horses and hounds, captures the scene with the assurance of someone fully immersed in the traditions of the countryside.
The mounted huntsmen are arranged with quiet dignity: the Master of Foxhounds in his scarlet coat seated confidently on a chestnut hunter, accompanied by a second rider on a grey, their horses alert yet composed. Around them gathers a disciplined pack of hounds—beautifully observed, each with its own character—waiting for the morning’s command. The rolling fields and distant valley unfold beneath a sky of shifting greys and soft openings of light, lending the work both movement and atmosphere.
Millais, grandson of Sir John Everett Millais and himself a dedicated rider, devoted much of his artistic life to the sporting world. His works from the inter-war years are especially prized for their authenticity, capturing an English way of life deeply rooted in land, tradition and fieldcraft. This painting exemplifies those qualities: a richly detailed, evocative portrayal of the hunt rendered with sensitivity, accuracy and a true feeling for the countryside.
Housed in a splendid period gilt frame that complements the painting’s scale and character, this is an exceptional example of Raoul Millais’s sporting art—ideal for collectors of English equestrian, hunting and inter-war landscapes.
